This CFW was tested on most PS3 Models by different testers and no problems were encountered. But as any CFW release you must install it with caution and by following proper instructions, No one will be held responsible for any damage caused.

For details about Updating from CFW3.55/4.21 to CFW4.30 Please read the Update Guide below

For details about Downgrading back to CFW/OFW3.55 Please read the Downgrade Guide below

PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current "passphrase" still the same.

Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.

It was tested by hundreds of testers on all PS3 models (FAT & Slim) and no problems were encountered.

It can run games signed with Keys up to version 4.30 without any Eboot/Sprx patching needed

Games can be loaded from Disc Icon (with Original game in BD) and from app_home (Disc-less, but not all games).

Current 3.55 homebrew applications can't be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly for FW4.21/4.30

ATTENTION:

1- This CFW doesn't have LV1 checks disabled and can't be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles unless you have Dehashed/Reset Syscon Properly (if you're not sure about your PS3, Dehash it anyway to avoid any risk) Link: Dehashing Tutorial

2- Always make a NOR/Nand dump using multiMAN or memdump before installing any CFW to have a recovery backup in case of any bricks. Having a valid NOR/Nand dump is an essential step before upgrading, because you will always have a way to recover (using hardware flashers) when you have a valid dump.

** A Hardware Flasher alone without a valid dump may not fix your bricked PS3 **

PS3UPDAT_Rogero_CEX_4.46_v1.01_Downgrader.PUP (MD5: e66fa806125bd9f0b7698f00324a4cd1) - Here's the PUP that have 9.99 as the built in version, it's basically a 4.46 downgrader, it will install on any version CFW up to 9.99 and will get you back on 4.46, in your case where your PS3 have 3.56 minver you can't use the normal 3.55 Downgrader, so this PUP will be a simple solution for you to get on CFW4.46.

N.B: Please people don't use this PUP for normal Updates, it will fill your syscon version with 9.99 and you need to Downgrade back to 3.55 and dehash in case this PUP was used, but for 3.56 Minver users the 3.55 Downgrader can't be used, that's why I posted this PUP just to help him install CFW4.46 without going into much details on how to dehash the 3.56Minver PS3.
